Sorry, I almost-but-don't-quite follow this.  You mention both use-macro 
and tal:replace, which are both possible methods for embedding form.html 
-- which are you using on what?  If you want the stuff from entry.html 
wrapped around form.html, why not return it (entry.html) from the script 
instead?
